Cuth’s to push for privacy clause in licensing agreement

ST CUTHBERT’S SOCIETY JCR is to lobby all colleges in the university to join a campaign to add a privacy clause to the standard licensing agreement issued to all students who live in college rooms.

The proposal, which is expected to state that students would have to give their permission before University staff entered their rooms, follows an incident in St Cuthbert’s last year. A society officer was allegedly found to have entered a student’s room in their absence and without their permission.
